One skill that's been kind of a hinderance in my IT/security career is I have exactly zero experience in programming/coding. Zero. Zip. Nil. Nada. Nothing.. But I'm trying to remedy that in 2016 by learnin' me some Python, and I picked up a great book called Python Crash Course, which has been exactly what this newb needed.

The title says it all. I had two days to pentest a network that probably would've taken two or more people two weeks or more. I laughed. I cried. I had fun.

This episode talks about some fun I had using sqlmap, and how using it in conjunction with Sqlninja makes me happy to be alive.

In this episode I talk about face-planting in my office at the first job I had out of college.

In this episode, I talk about a restaurant infosec assessment I did, and how the recommendations coming out of that assessment didn't fit the standard "mold." I also talk about how being transparent and helpful - and NOT billing clients for every tiny little thing - is king.

This episode covers a few HIPAA tidbits I picked up while preparing for - and executing - a HIPAA security assessment.

This episode continues that train of thought and covers: getting the right amount of life insurance, getting the right home/auto coverage, as well as estate planning.

This episode talks about my experience in doing a "redo" security assessment, during which I struggled with the following questions: what's the best way to efficiently correct the erroneous information and make the customer happy without asking ALL the original questions over again? Especially when I have little to no time to prepare for the "redo" interview?
